Multisite module doesn’t provide a default fallback site

The Multisite module no longer provides a fallback site by default. A fallback site is a special site definition used when no other site matches the request—essentially serving as a default.

If you haven’t defined your own fallback site, you may encounter the following error:

2025-02-25 14:31:07,166 ERROR info.magnolia.event.SimpleEventBus                : Exception caught when dispatching info.magnolia.module.ModulesStartedEvent with info.magnolia.multisite.MultiSiteModule$$Lambda$731/0x000072a668b03598 eventHandler.

	at info.magnolia.multisite.MultiSiteModule.getSiteNode(MultiSiteModule.java:274) ~[magnolia-module-multisite-2.1.6.jar:?]

This issue is related to MULTISITE-209, and we are actively working on a resolution. For more details, see MULTISITE-212.
